Tintswalo Boulders way surpassed expectations in every way. The view is amazing and add to that the opportunity to see and hear the penguins. The food was fresh and well done at each meal. The staff went over and above to meet and exceed every need. If that isn’t enough wait until you walk through the doors to your room….AMAZING TO SAY THE LEAST. We hope to return in the future.

Beautiful B&B right on boulders beach with unobstructed views of the water! The best part of this B&B was the location. Would recommend staying 1 night to wake up early the following day and see the penguins. The staff are very friendly and helpful and property itself is very large and nicely styled.
